TOOL'S whole discography is about healing and evolving. In the beginning hard and angry into the present, older and refined.
Spot on! đ€đż
Indubitably.
Well said. Their discography is watching the whole band grow up and evolve into higher versions of their selves.
little do i know, They talk alot about gravity and the motions of our universe. And egos toođ„Ž
I as an OGT have had the pleasure of taking this journey with them. Growing from angry 18yr old to the hopeful, spiritual adult I am today.
Itâs never to late for TOOL
So true! I was 56 just over a year ago when I finally got hooked!
Too*
...L
Amen!
Justin Chancellor, Tool's bassist, never gets enough respect. He's amazing and just as influential to what Tool's sound has evolved to.
Love watching peoples' minds blown by that 25 second scream near the end.
There are live performances on here where he roars that out for a good 23-24 seconds
Greatest band on the planet, a 30 year history of growing together as men, they are so tight because they are organic, not copying anyone, not trying to be anyone, they are TooL, and in this world to be unique is unheard of, they are unique, it is the most cerebral band in existence, now that we have lost Neil, this is the greatest modern drummer alive...Danny Carey, and you must, absolutely must pay attention to the lyrics, the man not only has one of the most naturally powerful voices in music but is thee and I mean thee greatest lyricist of all time, the albums tell stories very much in the vein of Pink Floyd, If you follow through and investigate this band and their catalog it will be the greatest musical journey you have ever taken
We've heard about the lyrics, we promise to keep it in mind next time! Thanks for watching! :) - Lex
This.
Agree with you
Greatest band on the planet?Thats arguable.A unique band that is amazing.DEFINITELY
Try Opeth before you make that ultimate proclamation.I would argue not that Opeth are the greatest band on the planet, but ANOTHER example of a unique band that is amazing.There are others as well, like Dream Theater to name another.These kinds of bands are absolute masters & virtuosos at their craft with a unique recognizable sound, but I just can't agree that any one of them is the "greatest" above the rest.
Well now the Daft Punk is disbanded, you're right, greatest band on the planet.
This is Saturn coming back around for you. Those lessons you learned. The Grudges you kept. You've grown up. You've let them go. Turned these leaden grudges into gold!
I think y'all should do this album in order. I mean, you already started on track 1đ€·ââïž plus it's an insanely well produced, composed, and preformed album that changed my life
We might just do that! :) thanks for watching!
Best GOD DAMN ALBUM.
@@NicknLex If you do go for listening to the whole album, there's a few songs people typically combine because they're kind of meant to go together. "Parabol" and "Parabola" are practically one song so it could be worthwhile to listen to both at the same time. "Disposition", then "Reflection", then "Triad" is referred to often as the "Holy Trinity" and musically go together, but you can do them all seperately. Combined they do make for a very long song. :D
@@NicknLex where is the Tool?
React to âPneumaâ Danny Carey drum cam. It showcases how great of a drummer he is. One of the best drummers in the history of music, IMO. Phenomenal song and performance by Danny Carey
This band is unique, and they absolutely function as a unit. I think they are the most organic rock band ever. A dive into Maynard's lyrics is highly recommended! One of the greatest lyricists and singers ever. And that 25 SECOND scream at 7:00 still blows my mind 20 years later... Every FUCKING Time!! đ€Ż
Lifelong Tool fans really enjoy seeing new listeners embrace their sound and unparalled writing and musicianship! Welcome aboard! You should study the band bioâs to understand where these sounds originate! Best track of all time!
Best scream in a song.....EVER!
Maynard has some amazing fry screams, he has lungs like a machine. He is able to hold enough breath between notes, I said a vocal couch explain for he carries his notes.
The lyrics are just as impressive as the music. There's always a deep meaning behind them.
This is one of the BEST reactions ever!! Because this is exactly the way I felt when I heard them for the 1st time 25 years ago! đâ€đ€đŻđŻđ
Thank you so much for the awesome compliment and for joining us; we love having you! :) - Lex
The smiles on your faces, makes this 42 year old man giddy AF! Iâve been a fan of this band since I was 16 and in high school, back in â94......they just hit on a different level. Theyâve basically been the soundtrack to my life. Best.Band.Ever
Aww thanks so much for your support! So glad you enjoyed it! :) - Lex
Yes, Tool can leave you speechless!
Great reaction as always!
Thanks so much for your support! :) Always appreciated! - Lex
TOOL is a life lesson in Itself. Maynard has the lyrics so soulful,, purposeful, meaningful and straight to the heart and mind. Adam, Danny and Justin are the perfect vessel in which to deliver that meaning. And brilliant musicians in their own right. They all sit at the same end of the table on decision making. Nothing is lost by listening to TOOL, just a greater understanding of oneâs self.
Top React by you bothđ€
Thank you for the info and support! Sending peace, Lex :)
Welcome to your latest wormhole Tool. The band members are the following: Vocals- Maynard James Keenan ( usually just Maynard), Danny Carey- Drums and Percussion, Adam Jones-Guitar, Justin Chancellor-Bass.
Opening track to one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
This Tool is the most incredible band Iâve ever heard. If you do more of them Iâll sub.
Maynard's lyrics go deep. You are missing out by not diving into his words. Just subscribed to watch your brains melt listening to TOOL. These guys are my generations PINK FLOYD.
There is SO much amazing music to hear from this band. Please enjoy.
Pink Floyd poster, I have faith in these two.
Hi babe đ
My favourite song of all time from the greatest album ever recorded
My favorite song is Reflection but I love the Grudge, too, it's right behind and Lateralus is actually my favorite album of all time, too.
âKick someoneâs ass...but not in a bad way.â đ€Ł Tool beats the spirit of enlightenment into you. Third Eye next!
I am 63 years old and this band evokes the same passion in me !
I really like your videos, guys. I've only seen a few, but your engagement and excitement for this music is something I really appreciate. Tool has been with me for so many of my own ups and downs, and they're just amazing.
I hope you guys do a lot more reactions to Tool. Not just for the Tool Army, but for you guys as well. They're music is transcendent and spiritual on a whole other level, and it empowers the listener like nothing else.
saturn ascends, choose 1 or 10, hang on or be humbled again
This drummer, Danny Carey, just happens to be one of the best who's ever done it. Check the Pneuma drum cam video for evidence.
Tool + headphones = mind blown.
Tool + Live = out of body experience.
Welcome to the army, looking forward to watching your content!
Tool since 92'
Recommend: Jimmy & Reflectionsâ
I subbed, I always appreciate people discovering Tool.
Absolutely LOVE the passion and I swear all the time with this song!! LOL. One of their all time best songs! IMO! đȘđŒ
One of the greatest albums of all time. Youâre in for a treat with this album...disposition reflection triad will make your heads explode!
This song helped me so much in my life. I was able to stop holding grudges that was keeping me from having relationships with people who I now treasure. Thanks for your reaction.
Thank you for sharing that with us and for your support. Sending peace, Lex :)
Yes definitely agree you guys should just finish this album!! Its definitely one if their greatest!! Great reaction can't wait to see more
Oh man just wait until Vicarious and Jambi come around
It's a good thing you didn't listen to Tool back then. If you're not ready, it'll turn you off. Even after twenty years, I have to wait til I'm ready to listen to tool. It's never long, though. If I go more than two days, I get the shakes.
Well said, I heard Tool from Opiate, but wasnât a fan. I heard undertow, wasnât a fan, and 10,000 days...guess what? Wasnât a fan. I wasnât ready for Tool, and now I love listening to all their albums. Itâs all about if youâre ready for it or not. I still have friends who donât like Tool, but thatâs because theyâre just not ready.
If you're not too far into their catalog yet, it's quite the journey to start at the beginning and work your way through chronologically to hear the evolution of their sound. And there's not a bad song
Never too late to discover TOOL... After the strength, the introspection, surely you'll find a kind of salvation listening to TOOL, like, I guess, many of us. Enjoy !
Huge french fan since 1993
Tool is the mastermind. All of these guys genius combined is not fairđ
thank you for all of your heartfelt comments on this greatness.... and the warmth that I sense from both of you... keep up the good work! greetz from Belgium... btw, you got a 'new' subscriber, though I"m 62â€
This one of the most epic songs live. Tool is timeless. Up front you have that moment when you realize there is only one drummer no additional percussions its all DC then massive guitar drop, then you get to maynards GO for 27 seconds (some length as Saturn returns FYI) followed by the most ruthless outro of all time. Welcome to the Army.
They were playing with elements of straightforward progressive rock during the making of salival it was kind of them testing the grounds when they released Lateralus it was a game changer they fully embraced the progressive elements and the sound got notably more cinematic like big sounds.
To enhance your Tool experience, have the lyrics available. The music is phenomenal on its own, however this band is like a car and each wheel is represented by a different band member. Not understanding the message or reading the lyrics is like driving a Ferrari with 3 wheels. What Maynard puts into the lyrics and the meanings (as hidden as they can sometimes be), really does have an impact on the initial impression for each song. Enjoy guys. The Tool Army is a family, welcome.
Great to be able to share Tool with and experience for the first time again vicariously through you both. You can see the love and appreciation of music in both of you. Excited to watch the journey. Itâs a long and wild ride with these guys.
Thank you so much for your kind wortds and warm welcome; we're happy to have you share this with us! :) - Lex
Tool is one of a kind. These transitions are insane!
I like that you are not getting distracted from the lyrics, every tool album comes with out the lyrics
Great reaction looking forward to you guys discovering how great Tool is! Aenema, 46&2, Stinkfist, are all good starter songs for Tool.
Thanks for your support! :) - Lex
Stinkfist and Schism have the best middle sections in my opinion, they are my favorite breakdowns in Tool songs of all time
Cherish these moments!! To go back and experience Tool with a really cool chic is so special. Happy for you both.
We were just talking about this; how special it will be to look back in a few years and see all these moments captured. This channel and all of you are truly a blessing to us! :) Thank you for your kind words and support, Lex.
I've been listening to Tool for 30 years. They only get better!
I read or heard somewhere that Danny the drummer was voted best drummer 11yrs in a row, and also Danny said a couple wks ago they had a lot of material ready and was coming out with some new stuff.đđ
Love this and youâre TOOL adventure đđ
"respect the change" lol I LOVE that. This is definitely one of my top few songs (thought its an ever-changing list). Enjoy your journey! I always love seeing people become new Tool fans. Their sound has truely evolved from their first songs all the way through Fear Inoculum but it always "sounds" like Tool. One of the very few bands that have been able to change with each album and still maintain everything about them that fans love. I still love Sober just as I love Pneuma. I was never much of a drummer fan, always more a guitarist (which I love Adam) but watching Danny Carey just get more and more insane with each album has been a pure joy over the years. And Justin Chamberlin....I never feel like a specific bassist adds much to the sound of a band but his tone and the way he plays w/ Adam is just fantastic.
You're already on the path, keep following, who knows where it will take you. đ€
You guys are refreshing and pleasant ...cheers from caliđ€
Please react to Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. IT IS FIRE!!đ„đ„đžđžđ„đ„
Ohh actually the original No Quarter is on our list, but after that we'll be sure to do Tool's cover! :)
yall are cute af. the unspoken communication lol. love
You will see that TOOLs version or cover is better than the original. No disrespect to the greatest band of all time LZ, but thatâs how much respect TOOL had for LZ that they performed it live and made the song sound amazing.
You guys should react to Forty Six and Two and also check out some kids who covered the band and also performed Forty Six and Two. The singer is a little girl that kinda sounds like the singer for Fly Leaf. Another Masterpiece of a song is Right in Two. Actually dam I could list dozens more and say the same thing so Iâll stop here.
Donât worry about the lyrics. Listening to their songs as a whole for your first time is the way to go. That way the lyrics donât distract you from the rest of the song. Also, most of Tools lyrics are pretty deep/confusing and you may or may not understand them your first time listening. But the beauty of tools lyrics are that they can be interpreted differently by each listener. Love yalls reactions and glad to welcome some new members to the army! Spiral out đ
Thank you so much for your support and warm welcome; we're happy to have you on our channel! :) - Lex
Lateralus is my favourite album of all time. I've always though it was ahead of its time and it still is.
Amazing reaction! Subbed and liked!! Thanks for rewinding too, definitely gets everyone back into the flow. đ„Pneuma By TOOL is unbelievable, followed by the live version which is a drum cam that is a must, yâall would absolutely dig it! Cheers from frozen Texas
Thanks so much for your support and your positive vibes! We will definitely be doing many more Tool songs to come, this is barely our second!! We love having you, sending peace and take care! From even-more-frozen, Denver. :) Lex
I get so happy watching other feel Tool the way I do. Cause since I was 12 they have been my unicorn. I am 40 now. They have been the best band cause they are not metal but just true music. Meaning they play what they want how they want when they want.
Coming up on 28 years since I heard my 1st Tool song (Sober) debut on Headbangers ball. I was 16 then!
Hi, My best friend played Opium for me
and quickly held on to Tool. I'm a drummer and mainly listen to Danny
Carry!
James Maynard is like Frank Zappa a complete and utter genius
You two are in for quite a ride! This is just the tip of a very deep iceberg.. enjoy!
I really like your reactions NicknLex. Such honest appreciation for this music is refreshing.
That's so sweet of you; thank you for your support! :) - Lex
I think you are correct. TOOL was a bit ahead of the time coming out of the metal and new metal days. Also even though it was critically acclaimed they did not get a lot of radio play in most places due to the song lengths. But TOOL is timeless and just as good today.
Just discovered yâall and I love the channel! Yâall are very knowledgeable and flow off each other so well. I also love that yâall are Hispanic lol. Raza!!! Loved your cafe tacuba Spanish reaction, too.
Hola!!! Muchas gracias y bienvenido al canal!!! Itâs great to have you and awesome that you can enjoy both English and Spanish with us!! Abrazo!! - Lex
7:55. Thatâs a great point! Structure is so key with this band.
First rate reaction, you two! I think this song was one of the best outros among Tool's discography. Great stuff!
Thanks for the awesome compliment! We're happy to have you and sending peace, Lex :)
I remember when I first starting really digging into TOOL, the music was completely enrapturing, but damn, I had to know what Maynard was saying. It was imperative. His voice commanded it.
Her smile says it all.
This song is like everything you want in a tool song
I'm here for this journey
Lex has a very expressive face. makes the interaction more detailed
James Maynard is the creator of the tool sound a complete genius savant
POWERFUL is the word that I feel sums up their music the best.
More Tool đ€đ„ł
What's more amazing is the band creates the music/tracks before Maynard ever hears it, then he writes the lyrics and sings as another instrument
i would always play tool songs on my blutooth speaker on the school bus on the ride home and my friends would always ask me, " damn, how long is this song" and i would always tell them, "not long enough".
You just dove into a rabbit hole you can't get out of. Welcome to the greatest progressive band of all time. ALWAYS read the lyrics!!!
Spiral out keep going ... ..... ........ .............
lol @ that jump in the beginning!
Saw them on the Lateralus tour at the Garden in NYC right after 9/11 and it was a mind alternating experience and to this day is one of the best concerts I've ever witnessed. The number of police cars around the Garden, the atmosphere in the city, the feeling in the air that night had me on edge, in fact I was practically dragged to the show not being a huge fan of the band. Little did I know what I was going to see and hear. Let's just say I immediately went out and bought the album....the rest is Toolistory.
Got goosebumps reading your comment. Thanks for sharing; truly sounds like an unforgettable experience. Sending peace, Lex :)
This whole album is đŻđ„đ
For me it's the most incdredible and unique song ever witten. Definition of synergy and wisdom.
Justin is the riff master.......
You don't have to apologize for not listening to Tool! I'm 40 and didn't get into them until I was in my early 30's. They are timeless. Always available for anyone to experience when they are ready to do so =)
Tool is all about improving yourself. Facing the dark, embracing the light.
New to you, sweet couple! Keep on the rabbit hole. Maynard and all his related bands are worth diving into and...you will get bombed with fans. This is how weâre getting through the pandemic, too. :) Best wishes!
Thank you so much for your support! :) - Lex
I've said it once, I'll say it again: The only thing I enjoy as much if not more than Tool is seeing someone else experience them for the first time--you have so much to learn, but it will be an amazing ride. :)
Thanks for your support! :) - Lex
Don't have to apologize, TOOL will both, make you curse, or leave you speechless.
People always say they had friends that tried to introduce them to TOOL but they declined. It wasnât their time. They just werenât ready. You donât listen to TOOL, you experience TOOL. Everyone finds TOOL when theyâre supposed to.Welcome to the fold!
This song is my guide to change. For the better. Always for the better my man. Cheers
Thank you for sharing and sending peace, Lex :)
Do a back to back of Pushit...first album, then the live version off the Salival album..It is like 2 totally different songs..dont worry about length of video... we will watch.
This is what I suggested as well. Such a fantastic song and then reimagined and it's just as awesome.
YES!
Every time I hear that scream I get light headed and my heart wants to come out my chest. 20years after i bought that album.
Tool belongs in their own category for which I have named, "Progressive Mental Metal "!
LOVE THIS!
Yeah the 90s were tough for me too. We didn't get internet until 97 lol
I was bullied a lot at school for difficulty learning hand-eye coordination.
I was drawn to this because it's not a reaction to the same songs that every single youtuber does. ya, pneuma drum cam is cool, but every youtuber on the planet has one. Please continue doing more obscure songs to draw the true fans out ;)
13:00. Great admission of a gap. I applaud people that can admit their mistakes!
Keep spiraling out
Of you wanna feel aggression listen to ticks & leeches from the same album!!! Love TOOL, itâs my favorite band and this is my absolut favorite album of all time!
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score... Studio, then Live from Wacken 2013 ;)
you keep looking at each other because you've think you've figured it out. This is Tool.
Wow this was the first CD I ever bought. This is the first track on the album. It is impeccable
